Wow ,
a thread
that Is still
useful after more
than 5 years ! ! !
Just wanted to say
thanks JINKSTER !
I built up my project
2003 Hayabusa with
parts from all over the place .
The forks came from ebay
and I just dropped them in
and forgot about them .
Once I got the bike running ,
I too felt that soft messiness
to the suspension parts ,
especially when compared
to my Honda Blackbird
and Honda VFR800 .
( I ride a different one of my 4 bikes every day . )
I figured I would tweak with it real quickly
before I took the bike to dinner and
do a better job when I have time .
( I doubted I could make it much worse ! )
Set the rebound and compression per your post
and just screwed the front compression adjusters
all the way in and then back out 2.5 turns .
( I am 195 pounds and it was screwed way out . )
The difference was immediately noticeable ,
I do not know that I could put my finger on it ,
but it was just easier and more predictable in the corners .
I will have to do a complete setup
in the next few weekends ,
but for now , it feels much better !
